“And we must stop allowing organizations such as the NCAA to perpetuate frauds against the public. That’s exactly what it’s doing. The governor stated that they are putting ideology above opportunity for women athletes. “And I believe that there are just some people who are afraid to speak up and tell the truth about what they do. They are doing exactly that. We will speak out against them in Florida if they do anything like that. We’ll issue that proclamation because that person, who was a great Florida athlete, has now moved to the University of Virginia.
